Abstract

This publication discusses the stages of creating a commercial company
while reviewing the necessary regulations. The purpose of this paper is todescribe the problems and doubts that may arise, such as choosing the legal
organizational form of the future business activity, preparing the company’s
articles of association, and the registration process. The complexity of the forms
used to register the company and the formalistic nature of the procedures
required are highlighted. Presented comments indicate that the creation of
a commercial company is a broad field for professional legal activity, basically
not because of the formalized procedure, but mainly due to the momentous
consequences of making mistakes. The considerations show that the participation of a professional representative is highly desirable. For this reason, it
is worth postulating the imposition of legal coercion in the case of creating
a commercial company, or at least an in-depth analysis of the need for such
coercion.
